Koch-funded group hosting school supply giveaway events

ALBUQUERQUE – A Koch brothers-funded group is hosting school supply give-away in 10 cities with more 6,500 backpacks.

The LIBRE Institute is scheduled Thursday to begin its school supply giveaway campaign in Aurora, Colorado, and will then travel to the New Mexico cities of Roswell and Española.

This campaign is an annual effort aimed at talking to parents about charter schools, Education Savings Accounts and online tutoring options.

A school supply giveaway event in Albuquerque is planned for Aug. 4.

The LIBRE Institute in recent years has held forums around President Donald Trump’s tax reforms and other conservative policies and has been vocal on pushing immigration reforms.
